July 2017 update: Form Adaptors Replaced by Type Providers

-
The July 2017 update of Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise edition includes many new features and changes. One of our new features is type providers. Type providers are a new way to interface with forms in unit tests without a form adapter model. Previously, when a developer built or changed a form they would also have to add the adapter for the form to the same solution and rebuild the model to see the new form changes in test code. Type providers provide instant design time support, so that tests can access forms. With type providers, we have removed the need to maintain a form adapter model and the need for extra compile time to generate and compile the form adapter model.
We removed the form adapter models in the July 2017 update because they are expensive to run and maintain. In general, the type provider framework requires less processing time, and is more flexible to use than the form adapter models.

Differences The following table lists X++ features that are different in C#. Feature X++ C# Comments Declarations All declarations must be at the start of the method, before any X++ statements.

Both languages allow you to assign an initial value in the declaration statement. if  and  else conditional statements The  if  statement accepts any type of expression that it can automatically convert to a Boolean. Common examples include an  int  for which 0 means false, or an object for which null means false. The  if  statement requires a Boolean expression. The syntax structure regarding curly braces and parentheses is exactly the same between X++ and C#.
